Using encryption even emails can't be read. keep on wishing! She's right. I use encryption regularly when I want a reasonable expectation of privacy in my communications. I wish everybody did, because NOT encrypting your communication is the electronic equivalent of standing in the town square with a bullhorn. It irks me that the vast majority of people proudly announce they "have nothing to hide."...Are they sure?...Do they tell their most intimate and personal secrets to the whole world instead of just their best friend?...If they DON'T use encryption for their private affairs, that's exactly what they're doing...I wish they'd wise up! What A & B say to one another is nobody else's business. I also find the anonymous darknets like Tor & i2p handy for those times I want to pretend I'm a human being who might be anywhere and not just a duck who lives up north.

What is a schizo typical personality feature?
Acute paranoia. And who is doing research on people into conspiracy theories?
Psychiatrists. Who else would be interested in symptoms of schizophrenia? And why would they be doing research into such people?
Because schizophrenia is a mental illness. http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200501/conspiracy-theories-explained Would you like to discuss that ridiculous article you linked to? Why? It's not the only one on the subject and I doubt you could offer anything of any value to contradict them. But, of course, feel free. While I don't really disagree with what the article has to say in general about schizophrenics, (Its very basic and routine stuff) I think the title of the article (Conspiracy Theories explained) is completely misleading and off topic in relation to the actual article. The title implies that all conspiracy theories are the product of the mentally ill or schizophrenic people, which is certainly not the case and it is irresponsible to suggest that with such a misleading headline. But that is the agenda of course. To put out the subliminal message that conspiracy theories are the product of the mentally ill. I am sure that some of conspiracy theories are hatched by paranoid schizophrenics, but certainly not all of them. The fact of the matter is, there are conspiracies. There are criminal organizations. It only takes two or more people plotting anything to qualify as a conspiracy. Since we can't assume that everyone on earth is totally honest, we have to assume that conspiracies do exist. Shall we just believe everyone to be honest? Shall we convince ourselves that there are no criminal organizations in the world. Shall we believe everything our political leaders tell us? Shall we just put our faith in politicians? I don't think that is wise. Investigators must be conspiracy theorists. |

They do not know what caused the power outage, but apparently it has happened before to that stadium. The lights are coming back on slowly now. When they are back the game will resume.

My Internet Service Provider belongs to the UPC-Group!
If the Order came to turn off the Servers and everything else,we'd be hosed! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPC_Broadband the Parent of UPC is (GULP) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Global all you can do is sing,"Good Night Irene...."!

There are contingency plans in place all over the place. Even if the internet was totally shut down, people will still have a network of communication. The lines may be severed, but the only real result will be new lines & methods put in place to keep the network alive. Granted we'll lose crap like the Coca Cola, Microsoft and all the other corporate websites, but it will be their loss, not ours. There are already free wireless mesh community networks in place in places all over the world, and the possibility of the entire internet being shut down has only spurred their growth. If the internet got shut off tomorrow, people would still have their local, national and international communications networks in place for things like email. The only thing that would change is the latency, because the transitional phase would probably have to rely on things like Ham & CB radio, localized wireless mesh networks, and in many instances, a city to city sneakernet (until an electronic/radio link could be established). A good chunk of an alternate network is already in place. |

and all those you mention depend on a working Internet! Turn off the Servers! Limit the Phonelines,control Radio-Communications and you will be a Sitting Duck,no Pun intended!

Bandwidth?…My…We have been spoiled haven't we. I fondly remember the days of an international network of computer user groups with dial-up BBSs and 300 baud connections. Being the nostalgic sort, I probably wouldn't mind going back to something like that at all, and I would see the shutting down of the internet as a good thing if it were to sire some of its own ancestors with its demise. The internet as it is has grown FAR too commercial, and many have forgotten the original intent of communication networks…communication. I could care less about bandwidth and latency…as long as I could communicate. Jeannie's idea of going back to carrier pigeons isn't wasted on me. If that were the only way I could set up a communication network, it wouldn't be long before I had a pigeon coupe. Fortunately, I don't think we'll ever have to step that far back in time. This little duck is always sitting...and thinking of the possibilities. (but I won't say where I go to sit and think, or what I mostly produce when I do )

The pigeon idea was not mine, and it was not exactly 'going back.' It was used to transport large amounts of data and tested against the electronic transport systems and beat the time it took to get the data by several hours. Computer experts at a South African firm said it took six hours to transfer four gigabytes of encrypted data to a call center 50 miles away. http://www.ohmidog.com/2009/09/10/pigeon-tops-broadband-in-data-transfer/ Unlimited Group, a financial services company, yesterday attached a memory card to the leg of a pigeon called Winston who took just over an hour for the trip, according to the Daily Mail. |

A shutdown of what we non geeks know as the Internet would leave a lot of the average computer users without Internet communication.
But they may have to cripple themselves if they want to cripple the general public. Geeks and hackers will have their own network up before you can blink. It would probably become a better network than what we have now. There would be a totally encrypted geek network rising out of the fog, being distributed by pigeons, copied, and made available to them first, then to the public and the government would not find out about it until months or years later. To further keep the government from tampering with it, computers will be set up with completely different operating systems and would be the rage. All software would be free open software Microsoft, facebook, and google would come crashing down. Geeks rule!

And the only way you might hack a pigeon is to shoot it down, but that pigeon will have several back-ups carrying the same packets.
